Messy bun might be beyond that threshold today. :blobcatthinkingeyes: I'm too lazy to even edit the damn photo.

This is a new angle for a missile launch shot from North Korea.

Birdsite megalomania. Billionaires shouldn't exist. 

I really don't need a comment to go along with this. But. I think it's important to share what having access to billions of dollars and being able to impose your will upon what was one of the biggest social media sites in the world.

Some people asked about donating money to #debirdify and the people who made it. We have enough money to run this service at the moment, so we would ask that you rather donate your money to a more worthy cause: e.g. your local Mastodon server or the Ukraine war relief efforts.

Apologies to all my super serious med / academic followers.

Life is such a tire fire with The Other Place feeling like the perpetual last day of summer camp, and work being a neverending flu and RSV mess. I just don't feel like posting anything science, medical, or too serious very often. I'll get back to sprinkling in outreach at some point. :blobcatnerd:

Also, I'm not sure what the "front door" of the fediverse should look like to onboard new folks.

But, this whole notion of "pick an interest" as a filter is really, really not working out IMO. It's giving entirely the wrong expectations to folks wandering in.

I guess it's that time of the night where I look at this bottle of sertraline and wonder if I opened it and took a pill already or not.

Never expected one of my favorite 90s films to also be queer icons to the kids but here we are. Bill is a huge trans icon, endorsed by Winter himself and Ted is non-binary. :blobcatjustright:

JAXA's @EQUULEUS_en@twitter.com deep space CubeSat that launched on #Artemis1 is chattering away to the team via the Madrid Deep Space Network ground station!

I promise not to "quote toot" like this often but my reaction to @shengokai 's thread is to jump around and loudly yell THIS THIS THIS! zirk.us/@shengokai/10936234190

folks who are deeply skeptical and haven’t yet experienced any joys or reassurances on the fediverse yet are experiencing a lot of painful grief right now and will struggle to adapt to this new world so we should try to be welcoming and helpful when they arrive
